I wish Limas well. He's a good kid, just didn't work out here. He's one of many "can't miss" 1st and 2nd rounders that wash out of the league.

After all this time he hasn't been able to make it to the playing field, we're not losing anything here. He had his chances and didn't take advantage of them. Time to move on.

If this is the end and I think it is (though they could IR him haha)...its sad...I was pulling for the kid. We can add him to the huge number of 2008 2nd (and 3rd) round of crap/bust WRs from the draft that year.

Well Mundy's serviceable, and Hills might be starting at guard finally

and I'm still holding out hope Dixon can bring us a 7th. Oh yeah, he destroyed those chances last friday night....

That draft class was supposed to be the best in years and know look at them. Mendenhall and Mundy have been the most productive members of that class.

He's what? 24? Maybe 25? He's already made 3 million. That ain't too shabby.

Not to mention a Super Bowl ring. Not to mention also that he got all this for doing only slightly more than I, a 40mumble year old woman, could have done. (Hey, don't laugh too hard - I was pretty athletic back in the day.) Not too shabby at all.

Granted, he has a great name - I mean, who didn't want to yell out "SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!" every time he made a great play or a spectacular catch? Problem was I could probably count those opportunities on one hand. I, for one, was surprised every time I was reminded he was still on the roster. Best of luck to him, but time for Sweeeeeeeeed to go - don't let the screen door hit ya, and all that.

In fairness, I don't think Cliff Stout had thrown a regular season pass when he got his ring. I think that is correct?

Although I'm glad to see him go, I wish him nothing but the best outside of football.

I can't see him playing for another team but if he does I will not wish him luck only Luck outside of football.
